they cannot cross over theer threshold that has been built by grover norquist. people who are rich, who make a lot of money, they're not opposing the raising of taxes on them. i the only people in america who don't think taxes should be raised on the rich are the republicans who work in this building. so anytime the speaker and thee republican leader come to the president and say we've got a deal for you, the president's door's always open, and mine is too. >> mr. president -- >> the republican leader. >> i would only add the majority leader's given you his view ofwf the last two years. i've certainly given you my take on it. the american people have spokene and they basically voted for the status quo. the president got reelected, the senate's still in democratic sti hands, and the house is still is republican hands. r the more than people haveep spoken. s the american people have spoken. today obviously expect us to come together and to produce a result. as i indicated, the president id called me and probably called po others last night.rs my impression is he w

take it from a republican tax bureau, grover norquist. here's what he had to say about this very provision, chained c.p.i. back in 2013. he said, quote, this is one of those things invented by people who are trying to raise taxes and pretend that they are not. if you change the law to get more money, that's a tax increase -- doesn't matter how you do it or what you call it. close quote. so, look, we all expect to pay a little more in taxes if we get a big raise at work, but now republicans want you to pay more in taxes even if you don't get a raise. each year more of your income, under this provision, will be taxed in higher brackets at the very same time that your deductions and tax credits slowly lose their value. it's a clever way for the government to shave a bit more off your paycheck every year even if your income hasn't risen in years. it's a republican tax on wage stagnation and a republican tax on the millennial generation. that's right. millennials are just now entering their prime earning years, and apparently they haven't had
